Call Ducks Finally Hatched

[AmandaVirginia]

Ahhh! They're so pretty!

Is your heating lamp directly on the nest area? it maybe getting to warm is why they aren't using it..

No the heat lamp is only over the water. And they always hang out under it. I am wondering if she walks away to lay the egg to get privacy from the male. Do they do that?

Ok Lori... so here are the girls that I kept from last year's hatches


Her legs are a little too long but she's beautiful so willing to work with that.


Little fawn and white pied


And the little blue magpie girl who was obviously playing in the mud lol

Very beautiful! What do you call the color of of the first duck. (I have one like it but darker, just dont know to call it a blue or silver or magpie or what!)

She is not a "recognized" color in call standards but was told that she's a lavender.

Oh now I see this post. Mine looks almost identical to the one in the second pic with the longer legs. (well color only that is. He doesnt have long legs or anything. No offense) He is just a bit darker. And has a brown spot of feathers on his chest!

Your gal looks similar to this one of mine that I hatched! Lavender bibbed (I've been told but I think it's actually silver)

Very cute pied girl too! Did you keep any drakes?

He looks very much like this but has white feather spots like a magpie.

I think he is like a blue magpie and silver mix? He came from both blue parents. Both were light though.

Lol. No offense. I know her legs are too long but hey, she wants to be like her mom who's 6' tall lol. I have seen them called both lavender and silver. There's no recognized color for them so anyone could call them whatever they choose You'll have to post pictures of your boy

I will do my best. Might have to wait a bit though. I had my extra roosters in with him and they well sorta tried to mate with him and tore up all his back feathers and they stick out all over and he does not look too great
